Hi David,

I think it's ridiculous for you to have to pay for subscriptions for
retailers!  I kind of feel that if anyone on the BOD thinks someone should
get a comp membership because the either help AGA or the MIGHT help AGA, we
should honor that request.

I think you and Cheryl should work out what you both think is a reasonable
arrangement, and we can go from there.  As far as I can see, the more
exposure we get in retail stores, the more we will tap into a group of
aquarists who are not already part of the organized hobby, and may never
have heard of us.

Here's an idea... Should we design a nice poster that retailers can display
in their stores?  Give them a one year trial subscription if they promise to
display the poster for that period?  Particularly with your stores, David,
you'd be in often enough to keep tabs on the posters.
